Abstract

Neuro-ophthalmology covers disorders that fall between the cracks of Neurology and Ophthalmology. Neurologists see patients with neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Recognition of the diagnosis is difficult enough, but treatment can be challenging. This article reviews several common neuro-ophthalmic disorders, outlining their features and treatments, from retinal vascular disorders to eye movements and blepharospasm.
